Project Yellow thing - coming to an end

[John1.4]

with no engine crane, just the use of beef and a jack...lol


i use the sealey gasless, it was cheap, and despite people always bleating on about not doing good welds etc, gasless has been fine for me.. better than the gas mig i used to have


spent this morning converting the wiring loom, pics have been taken, however at this point i'm in half a mood to just burn the car to the ground... i put the wiring loom in, connected everything up, double...nay triple checked everything, connected the battery, and tried to start it at last.....

nope, no fuel pressure, nada, and more concerningly it sounded pretty gnarly turning over as if something pretty major was wrong, LOUD, slow and sluggish, havn't checked the battery yet, but after having tried the clutch pedal, there is no clutch, just the resistance of the spring, so considering the idea i have put the clutch plate in backwards at this point, no idea if that would cause it to sound so shit, it turned over by hand fine so shouldn't be anything like valvetrain, just bummed out it didn't work, now the epic problem of fault-finding is my game... fail
